Fun Things to Do This Weekend in The Hamptons

January 24, 2013 by Arts and Entertainment

There are lots of things to do this weekend in the Hamptons, everything from cooking classes, to winter parties, to fundraisers for East End Hospice. And if your interested in going to a puppy prance party, there is that too! Check out our list.

The staff of Vines & Branches will share some of their favorite recipes and cooking techniques (which we’ll get to sample). We’ll also learn about the most popular pairings of their favorite Extra Virgin Olive Oils and wonderful white and dark balsamic.

All purchases made that evening will be given a 15% discount. Cost: $20 per person.

If you are planning to attend, please RSVP today. Once the class is full, names will be placed on a waiting list.

Walk leader Joe Giunta is one of SoFo’s most engaging birding teachers, and this foray is one of his most enjoyable. The evening starts with a brief slideshow and taped calls to acquaint you with the East End‘s native owls. Then Joe will take you into the woods to call owls in for actual sightings. There is a good possibility that you will see an Eastern Screech Owl and maybe even a Great Horned Owl, whose courtship period begins at this time of year. This walk is for adults, but children over the age of 12 may attend. Bring binoculars and a flashlight. Limited enrollment, reserve now.

Please call 631-537-9735 for reservations and information about meeting places. Directions and meeting places announced after registration. Reservationsare required for all events.
